Emergency TOP information

Be sure to use Emergency TOPs only when the GA DOR system is down. If GA DOR is down, DDI Technology places a News item at the top of your dashboard.
All Emergency TOPs will need to be ‘Submitted’ to the state when GA DOR system comes online. A good practice is to key in a deal and leave it in pending status, so when online you only need to submit the deal to pend title.
All successfully generated emergency TOPs can be accessed in Inventory->Emergency TOP History.
The Emergency TOP Not Submitted Report will help you keep track of the deals that have not yet been submitted to the state.
